Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 42
ब्रह्मविष्णुमहेशाद्यैस्त्वं प्रपन्ना सुरेश्वरि । सावित्री श्रीरुमा चैव त्वं च माता व्यवस्थिता
brahmaviṣṇumaheśādyaistvaṃ prapannā sureśvari | sāvitrī śrīrumā caiva tvaṃ ca mātā vyavasthitā
Ô Souveraine des dieux, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa et les autres prennent refuge en toi. Tu demeures comme Sāvitrī, comme Śrī, comme Umā — oui, comme la Mère elle-même.
Viprāḥ (continuing the hymn)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A luminous Devī enthroned as the universal Mother, with subtle iconographic hints of Sāvitrī (Vedic radiance), Śrī (lotus and abundance), and Umā (mountain-born śakti), while Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśa stand in añjali seeking refuge.

None directly; the verse teaches śaraṇāgati (taking refuge) as a core devotional stance.
